KJ3 Literal Translation
Isaiah 25
The prophet praises Jehovah for His judgments, and for His victorious salvation.
1O Jehovah, You are my God. I will exalt You; I will thank Your name; for You have done a wonder: counsels from afar; faithful faithfulness.
2Because You have made a heap from a city, a fortified city into a ruin; a fortress of foreigners from being a city, not to be built, to forever.
3Therefore the mighty people glorify You, the city of the terrifying nations shall fear You.
4For You are a stronghold to the poor one, a stronghold to the needy one in his distress, a refuge from storm, a shadow from heat; because the breath of the terrifying one is like a storm against a wall.
5You shall lay low the noise of aliens, like the heat in a dry place, the heat with the shadow of cloud; the shouting of the terrifying ones shall be laid low.
6And Jehovah of Hosts shall make a feast of fat things for all the peoples in this mountain; a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, refined wine on the lees.
7And He will swallow up in this mountain the face of the covering which covers over all people, and the veil that is woven over all nations.
8He will swallow up death forever! And the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from all faces. And He shall turn aside the reproach of His people from all the earth; for Jehovah has spoken.
9And one shall say in that day, Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is Jehovah; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.
10For the hand of Jehovah shall rest in this mountain; and Moab shall be trampled under Him, even as straw is trampled in a dung pit.
11And He shall spread His hands in his midst, as one swimming spreads to swim. And He shall lay low his pride with the skill of His hands.
12And He shall bow down the fortress of the height of your walls; He will lay low, strike down to the earth, even to the dust.
